I am also one of those folks who weighs myself every day. It helps me know I'm on track and headed in the right direction with things. Also, if you're one of those people like me who tracks calories burned, then it's really important to keep track of your weight on a regular basis because even just losing a pound or two makes a big difference in terms of how many calories are burned resting, sleeping and exercising. Even if you're not sharing your weight loss publicly, it's still a good idea to track your weight regularly so you know how many calories you're burning compared to how many you're consuming.

I weigh myself every other week so I won't feel like I'm obsessing over a number. I watch what I eat with FatSecret and work out on my TreadClimber 30 minutes a day, three times a week. I've been working out sporadically due to overtime at work and was sick for a short while but I've lost 2" around my hips already!

I weigh every day, because I like to see the number. But I know the readings are not accurate. I base my "success" on how well I am following my diet, not what the scale says, because neither the high peaks or low valleys represent true readings, only the trend line.

I chart every day:

If I was only measuring once a week and the reading day was on a high peak, I would be unnecessarily disappointed. If I took my reading on a valley day, I could be like, I lost a lot of weight. But then next week if it fell on a peak day, it would look like I had gained after trying very hard to stick to the diet (and succeeding).

I usually do it every day but if it doesnt happen it doesnt happen. I'm not really hard about it like i am my work outs. I make sure I do one strength training work out a day with one cardio workout a day.
